totalnewbie posted:SELL YOUR THINGS. It's not unusual for people to complain about being broke but it turns out they have 2 ex in scarabs sitting around. There is a 100% foolproof way to immediately skyrocket your currency for almost every player and it doesn't involve playing more, changing your loot filter or even learning anything about the meta for the league. Install Exilence Next and let it scan your tabs every 15 minutes. Aside from rare/magic items, it will give you an up-to-date summary of your total wealth and the price of high ticket items taken directly from poe.ninja. Like totalnewbie mentions, start selling the stuff that drops. There are definitely going to be scarabs, divination cards, uniques, sacrifice vials and other items that are surprisingly valuable. Exilence Next removes all of the guesswork and if you check it maybe once per session you'll find out that hey, the div card that you picked up offhandedly is worth 70c - better sell it fast. Gives you an excellent idea of exactly how valuable the 752 jewellers orbs sitting in your stash are!

I did this for the first time this season and found about 20ex worth of stuff I didn’t realize I had. I know that’s maybe not the average experience but I cannot recommend Exilence enough.

One problem is that fairly quickly in the league I just can't be assed to sell stuff worth less than like 25c, so plenty of stuff worth 10-20c a pop just piles up in my stash.

Convert all your jeweler's orbs into fusings, sell fusings in bundles of 1ex each. Sell scours, alts, alchs, divines, and regrets in bundles of 1ex each, if you can keep going with that much being sold.

when I was writing that post I reflected that I felt fairly poor the entire league but then I remembered that when I stopped, except for my darkscorn basically every gear piece I had was at least 2ex, some of them 5-6, lol. i just spent it all as I got it, whoops.

Apparently you can do a lot of bulk trading on the forbidden trove discord. That includes selling multiple tabs of resources to people bulk maps, sets of fragments and so on. I'm thinking of trying that out next league. Seems like a good way to make money rather than selling individual fragments.

Vasudus posted:This is going to sound far more condescending than I'm intending but my solution to "how do I make money" is to just play the content that I like. The more you play it the more you realize how you can juice rewards out of it. A big thing I see people do (and I don't blame them) is get overwhelmed at all the options available to them and end up spinning their wheels. My problem is that I loving hate harvest, but even with the nerfs it's by far the most powerful league mechanic, so you cannot really ignore it. It's also really annoying to trade for. Anyway, Empyriangaming has put up a bunch of videos where he tests out the various farming methods for each atlas quadrant, I can highly recommend checking out those to see if any of them look fun.

What are your best money-making tips at the lower end of the spectrum (ie not deli / Sirius+)? Things I can do after a few days - once I’ve gotten through red maps and beaten the conquerors a few times? 1000% agree on exilence. almost everyone who thinks they don't make a lot of money mapping actually makes a lot more than they think they do, it's just mostly in gumball poo poo like essences that don't feel like money but totally are if you sell in bulk. if you can stomach it at all, run heists early in the league, potentially even before kitava--lockpicking and demolition heists generate an outrageous amount of currency starting at zone level 50, both from raw currency drops and the fact that they drop so many unid'd rares for chaos recipe at 60+. unless you have a very specific plan for rocketing to the top of the atlas and making money in the first weekend, swing by the rogue harbor every level after 50 and buy every lockpicking/demolition heist you're offered* then run them all before killing kitava. i guarantee you will rack up at least an ex or so an hour in raw chaos like this even if you don't drop any good uniques, which you can use to buy a 6-link, your core uniques, and some life+resist stuff going into maps. you won't have to worry about gear upgrades at all until you hit the top of the atlas if you're using a reasonable starter build. after reaching the top of the atlas the big thing to do for a midrange player is to just pick a strategy and stick with it. leaning into the good atlas passives in each quadrant is big, reliable money if you just keep doing it. my personal strategy this league was to run polished expedition scarabs in lira arthain because i liked how easy it was to liquidate logbooks and expedition currency in bulk, but repeatedly running t14 core in valdo's rest to exploit blight was incredibly good for zero investment. *remember that you can vendor fuse for chance if you run out, it's 100% worth it to do it

From personal experience this league, I can safely say that the best ways to make currency is to pull a 60ex ring from a div card set, or have the first (and only) watchers eye be worth 30ex. Barring that, selling expedition currency has been quite lucrative this time around

as a thought experiment: consistently throughout this league, one of the uber elder fragments dropped 100% of the time from the shaper fight was worth 30c more than buying a set of four shaper fragments in bulk. if your build can kill shaper in 6 minutes, which is fast but not insanely so, you were literally guaranteed an absolute floor of 300c/2ex per hour even if literally nothing of value ever dropped. this has been true for several leagues. of course i'd rather scoop my eyes out with a cafeteria spork than sit down and grind shaper for hours, which probably explains why the price spread between shaper fragments and uber elder keys is so high, but it establishes a decent floor for the profit from atlas strategies--nobody makes clickbait youtube videos titled I FARMED A HEADHUNTER BY RUNNING SHAPER 500 TIMES so you have to figure even an okayish atlas strategy is probably more profitable than 2 ex/hour

 and this was the first posthttps://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/rmnvat/so_im_an_idiot/ I suggest to give a glance at the OP and top comment by the thread starter. Might give someone an idea what to run. efb, basically the post above this one Next, love it or hate it - TFT discord is still a very useful tool for selling stuff in bulk in one go. They have a browser based tool for tabs wholesales of bulk items. Makes getting currency a breeze. I pull up exilence and make it run checker while making coffee. Quickly glance-sort it by tabs and see what is sellable in bulk, throw it in tft bulk sale tool and copy-paste the results in a channel and gently caress off to PoB/mapping/shittalk in discords, the buyer comes to you and usually in under 10 minutes. Done and done! And finally, a pro-tip to casual poe while being a goon. Just post itt with how many hours you have and/or chaos you got to play a build and loving ASK FOR HELP FINDING A CHEAP BUILD. It's not that hard! There's no shame in asking! Majority of the posters itt are willing to pob andor post to help people. whypick1 posted:Rage Vortex video is making me reconsider my Atlas Invasion choice, especially as the shield should be easier to get than the Snakepit that's basically required for Eye of Winter (plus I can use it earlier). Yeah, bad stitching and bad mic. Audio was recorded outside in a running car while being ill. Thank you for the input! With some help I got a better setup and finally cleared my audio just yesterday (thank you jock <3) On the RV itself I'd suggest trying it out first in standard, I did get some feedback that some people find the skill mechanic not so pleasant, one of them was itt a few pages ago

Useful info about money-making - I’m new to the game and just trying to learn the ropes this league and that’s something I’ve hardly hosed with at all. To that end - is it possible to do blight maps solo? I always wind up getting overwhelmed, there’s just too much stuff too fast. (edit) any good primer on crafting floating around? I know there’s potentially a lot more to it than just what’s there on the table, but… mynnna fucked around with this message at 13:52 on Dec 23, 2021 |

Oh absolutely. You need either a bunch of range, a bunch of minions or some sort of proliferation skill (I think the build I've done that handled Blight the best was Fireball Ignite Trickster). Don't ignore tower setups and anointments either. There's a few different setups people like, I tend to prefer minion Scout towers and anointing maps to reduce tower costs so you can fill the map with a gazillion murderbots.Erulisse posted:On the RV itself I'd suggest trying it out first in standard, I did get some feedback that some people find the skill mechanic not so pleasant, one of them was itt a few pages ago Turns out I don't have a single Marauder in Standard somehow, so that's not happening. I did use this last night and got Rage Vortex and Berserker before either Eye of Winter or Inquisitor, so it is decided. whypick1 fucked around with this message at 13:52 on Dec 23, 2021 |

theres a handful builds thats specifically tailored towards blighted maps, if you take your normal mapping build to a blight map, dont expect to "win" imo

You can win blight maps with a lot of builds by setting up the towers correctly to stun lock all of the mobs Some are immune

mynnna posted:Useful info about money-making - I’m new to the game and just trying to learn the ropes this league. I'm not an expert at all, but obvious guess if you're new (I made the same mistake) you might not be annointing your blighted maps. If you spend oils on it with cassia at your hideout, you can give it various buffs/debuffs to make it harder/easier, such as brown oils being 20% more tower damage each, orange oils 20% cheaper towers each. That, plus annointing your rings can give you buffs for your towers, a lot of people like scout tower range up and spamming them around the pump to blast everything at huge range. You can also stack physical towers (don't upgrade them to level 4 though) nearby a level 3 enhancement tower and they can stunlock everything. I don't know what to do about enemies with proxy shields though, other than take them out yourself, which can be hard if a boss has it and you don't notice until they are close to the pump.

You kinda need to do both unless you've got really good AoE damage and can handle everything converging at a couple points by the pump.

I generally don't do blight maps before I get a freeze tower annoint to root everything it hits. But that's just helpful for getting started on them if your build isn't fast enough and have tons of ranged application of death. Blight maps generally are you placing down as many max rank scout towers as you can, to nuke all the lanes down.

Level 3 Seismic Towers + Level 3 Empowering Towers are all you need to cover all non-phys immune lanes and for those you just build a couple ice towers. Then fill the rest with some sort of damage tower, usually Arc, and you're good to go. The reddit post linked above covers it in much better detail.

This is what I did this season, and got my non-bossing build through a superblight with very little trouble, it just took a while to take down the big units. And just so I didn't miss anything it would be lv3 Seismic, lv3 ice and lv3 empower at every choke point, and damage towers in any gaps. Ring anoints are 1 for seismic and 1 for ice. Also with the towers deactivating at range (2.5 screens or so?), I don't even bother going more than a screen away from the pump in any direction until cleanup time unless there is literally nothing happening any closer, and all the nearby stuff is leveled up already. That reddit posted mentioned that the empowering tower is line of sight, which is news to me, and I will keep it in mind.

I have been using the short event leagues as a chance to try things that I either have never touched or not used in a long time, and I realized that I have never run a brand build at all. I saw mention earlier in the thread of Wintertide brand being a good starter but not necessarily a great bossing build. What brand builds are good at killing bosses? I think I'd like to give it a shot for the atlas invasion.
